Pickling Onions for Winter
Description
Homemade preserves keep for a long time. This simple recipe for pickling onions for winter is very popular in my family. My grandmother had a large garden, and she gladly made such useful pickles for winter. She shared this recipe with my mother, who in turn shared it with me. I only make a couple of jars—enough until the next harvest. Try it yourself too; it's really simple. The jars keep for up to a year in a cool place.
